1. Building envelopes – terminology, function, climatic and boundary design conditions, loads, fundamental design principles. Introduction to the roofs of buildings. 2. Roofing of buildings – classification of roofs, main structural parts and components, types of the roof dewatering. Warm flat roofs – design principles, roof dewatering, material variants of individual layers of flat roofs. 3. Warm flat roofs – design variants (i.e. the classical arrangement of layers, inverted, combined, compact), green and walkable flat roofs, safety in use of roofs. 4. Cold flat roofs – structural design principles, roof dewatering, material variations, layers of flat roof composition, design of roof ventilation system. Truss girders. 5. Roof trusses – classification, carpentry joints, basic types of trusses. Purlin roofs – design solution at the hipped end and at the gable. Modern roof trusses – collar beam trusses and rafter systems. 6. Compositions of thermally insulated roofs above residential attic spaces. 7. Flashing – design of sheet metal constructions of roofs, walls, etc. Implementation and structural details of flat roofs. 8. Basic types of roof coverings, design principles and requirements for application. Implementation and structural details of pitched roofs. 9. External wall structures - design requirements for multi-layer and sandwich walls with an external (or internal) thermal insulation system. ETICS – materials and application technology of external insulation layers (i.e. anchoring, bonding, surface finishes). Principles of a solution of multi-layer wall structures with external thermal insulation and ventilated facade. 10. External wall structures – design principles, material variations of single-leaf homogeneous structures. Openings in external wall structures: windows – variants and materials. 11. Openings in external wall structures: windows – requirements for installation. External pedestrian doorsets and gates - variants, materials, requirements for installation. Ways of fitting windows and doors. Roof windows. 12. Curtain walling – application, structural and material types, anchoring of components. 13. The final lecture, examination instructions.
